A solution has been found: Hapoel Kfar Saba’s Japanese volleyball player Keisuka Metsu returned today (Wednesday) with the team to Israel on a flight from Bulgaria, where she played in the European Challenge Cup, and is in isolation according to procedures.
As you may recall, there were doubts about his return to Israel because he did not receive the corona vaccine due to medical reasons (allergic to vaccines). The club’s chairman, Gary Abramovich, had a white night after spending the morning with an open phone line in front of the delegation and professional staff at Sofia Airport to make sure the Japanese player was allowed to board the flight with his teammates. .
With the arrival of Hapoel Kfar Saba this morning in Israel, the Japanese player was separated from the team at Ben Gurion Airport for questioning and various approvals, due to being unvaccinated against Corona. For a week during which he will undergo two PCR tests.
“It is part of the price and the difficulties of the club’s decision that sport will win the corona. We insisted on holding sports competitions in our city of Kfar Saba even during this challenging period, and unfortunately the Slovak team refused to play in Israel, and we had to play in Bulgaria without a crowd,” said the chairman. The club, Abramovich.
Hapoel Kfar Saba is proud of the club’s distinguished performances in Europe, including when the club’s women’s team held six international games in the Challenge Cup, won four games and was stopped only in the round of 16.
